09/13/2023, 11:02 PMBeen playing with Canvas, DrawScope, Path, and drawPath(). Been going good, but now I want to "fill" a path with R.drawable.my_background_thingie. I've been poking around, but it's not clear to me what the intermediary I need to work though. On iOS, you can make a Color that wraps around an image. But I'm guessing, I need to use the Brush variant of the drawPath() function? But how to make a Brush that tiles a vector drawable isn't clear? Does it need to be converted to a bitmap first?
